Our best PrestaShop modules to secure your store
Five modules to lock down access, protect accounts and know who did what — instead of a decorative padlock in the footer.
The real flaw is not in your theme: it is a compromised admin password, a fake account bloating your base, an action nobody logged. Security is not declared with a badge — it is put in place, door by door.
Sound familiar?
A single admin password
It only needs to leak once — phishing, reuse, dictionary — and the whole back office is wide open.
The forgotten password
On the customer side, it is a cart abandoned on the login page. On yours, a stream of reset requests.
Fake accounts
Non-existent addresses, fraudulent signups: your base bloats with ghosts that skew your stats and drag down your campaigns.
"Who changed this?"
With several people on the back office, a price change or a deleted order stays invisible. Without a log, there is no way to settle it.

Security is not displayed — it is put in place
Every store sticks a “secure payment” padlock in the footer. It protects none of what really matters. The door people come through is the back office; the flaw they exploit is a password; the ghost that pollutes is a fake account.
Five doors, five locks
Securing a PrestaShop store is not a badge: it is closing, one by one, the doors the core leaves open. A second authentication factor for the admin, passwordless access for the customer, a base without fake accounts, and a trail of who did what.
Standards, not theatre
TOTP RFC 6238, AES-256 encryption, native hooks, no external dependency. What protects a store is not what you display — it is what you actually put in place.
How to choose
Security is not declared in the footer
"Secure payment", the little padlock, the SSL badge: they reassure the visitor, but they close no door. The real entrances are elsewhere — the back office, passwords, customer accounts — and that is where real locks belong.
Start with the back office
The vast majority of documented intrusions go through a compromised admin account. Two-factor authentication is therefore the best effort-to-impact measure: even a stolen password is no longer enough. Start opt-in with the reminder banner, then switch to mandatory.
Remove the password where you can
On the customer side, the password is both friction (a cart abandoned at login) and a risk (reused, weak, phished). The magic link removes it: a single-use email link, hashed in the database, that cannot be guessed or replayed.
Keep a clean, logged base
An address verified at signup is one fewer fake account. An audit log is the immediate answer to "who changed this price?" — and a pillar of GDPR accountability. Two habits that cost little and prevent a lot.
The red line
Security is not a display. A module that promises protection without encrypting secrets, without an open standard, without auditable source code, is worse than nothing: it is false assurance. Here, every brick rests on a verifiable standard — TOTP, AES-256, native hooks — and ships its source code.
What you gain
A second factor for the admin
Even with the password, no access without the phone. The measure that would have blocked the vast majority of documented intrusions.
Zero password on the customer side
A single-use email link replaces the password: fewer drop-offs, fewer tickets, nothing to remember or steal.
A base without ghosts
Every address is verified at signup; fake accounts are spotted and purged without ever touching a real customer.
Who changed what, and when
Every back-office action logged, field by field, with the employee and the IP. The traceability GDPR also requires.
Standards, not gadgets
TOTP RFC 6238, AES-256, native hooks. No core modification, no external dependency.

“We thought we were secure because we had the little SSL padlock. The day an admin account got phished, we understood the difference between displaying security and actually having it.”
Frequently asked questions
If I do only one thing, where should I start?
With back-office two-factor authentication. Most documented intrusions go through a compromised admin account, so it is the best effort-to-impact measure. Even a stolen password no longer lets anyone in without the second factor.
Is the magic link less secure than a password?
No, rather more secure. The link carries a single-use random token, stored in the database only as a SHA-256 hash, with a short expiry and rate limiting. There is nothing to reuse, guess or phish like a fixed password. The classic form stays available alongside it.
Can email verification delete a real customer?
No. An address is only marked invalid on a definite negative signal (syntax, domain with no MX, explicit SMTP rejection). Any ambiguous case stays "unchecked" and is never deleted, and customers who already ordered are protected by default.
Is the audit log a GDPR thing?
It is a pillar of it: traceability and accountability of access and processing. The module records who changed what, field by field, while automatically masking sensitive fields (passwords, keys, tokens) and purging according to the retention period you set.
Do these modules slow the store down?
No. They rely on native hooks and direct SQL writes, with no core override. Heavy checks (the SMTP probe) are reserved for bulk processing in the back office, never for the checkout funnel.
Do they need an external service (SMS, cloud, subscription)?
No. Everything is local and based on open standards: TOTP (RFC 6238) for 2FA, native transactional emails for the magic link, DNS/SMTP for verification. No per-user cost, no third-party dependency.
Is it compatible with PrestaShop 9?
Yes. The whole selection covers PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x, including the new Symfony login page of the PrestaShop 9 back office.
